This is the shocking footage which shows violent murderer Nicholas Salvador stomping the curb through a suburban part of north London, machete in hand.
At one point, the 25-year-old strode towards a driver who was sitting in his car and threatened him with the weapon, forcing him to flee from the scene.
The footage released yesterday only shows us a few minutes of what happened, but in it we see Salavador knocking over fences and eventually going into somebody’s home. Reports suggest that he thought he was killing supernatural beings.
His rampage was so ferocious that armed police began smashing windows to rescue residents, warning them to run for their lives amid fears of a further attack.
The court heard how Salvador, a cage fighter, believed he was killing supernatural beings – including Adolf Hitler ‘back from the dead’ – when he began his killing spree last year.
The footage was shown to the jury, just metres away from where Mrs Silva’s family sat in the public gallery. But the final moments of Mrs Silva’s life had been edited out because it was deemed too distressing.
‘It is a mercy that she can have had no time to begin to comprehend what was going on. This gentle, intelligent 82-year-old lady should have been able to live her life in peace and with security, proud in the achievements of others, but that was not to be.’
After the attack, the court heard how Salvador showed signs of mental illness, repeating phrases like ‘red is the colour’ and ‘I am the king’ over and over again. The jury was told how he believed Mrs Silva was a supernatural entity.
The officers pursuing him are unarmed, with the one you see climbing on the roof to warn the children to leave the garden being commended for his bravery.
When police finally cornered him they had to Taser him six times before he became subdued Salvador was found not guilty on the grounds of insanity. Two psychiatrists judged him to be suffering paranoid schizophrenia. and was legally insane when Mrs Silva died.
A Jury yesterday found him not guilty of murder on the grounds of insanity. He will be confined in a high-security psychiatric hospital for life.
